Answer
To complete the proof, we will use the given information and the properties of congruent triangles. We are given two sides and the angle between them, which suggests we will use the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) postulate for proving congruence between the two triangles.Step 1:Statement:
Reason: Given.Step 2:Statement:
Reason: Given.Step 3:Statement:
Reason: This statement seems to be incorrect or a typo. It should probably state that
is congruent to itself by the Reflexive Property of Congruence, which means that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.Step 4:Statement:
Reason: By the SAS Postulate, if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Final Answer:1.
- Given2.
- Given3.
- Reflexive Property of Congruence4.
